Welcome to the edge of endurance. The Endless Pit Backyard Ultra is not just a race — it’s a psychological and physical descent into the unknown. Set in the rugged beauty of Midland, Ontario, this event challenges runners to confront their limits one loop at a time.
Every hour, on the hour, runners must complete a 6.706 km loop. There’s no finish line — only the bell, the trail, and the relentless countdown. The race continues until only one runner remains. Everyone else? They fall into the pit.

This year at The Endless Pit Backyard Ultra (May 30, 2026), every finisher will earn something truly unique: handcrafted wooden medals.
Made from natural wood, each medal reflects the grit and endurance of the race.
Symbolic of resilience—just like the runners who keep answering the bell, lap after lap.
Sustainable and memorable, designed to be a keepsake that feels as raw and authentic as the Backyard Ultra itself.
No flashy metal. No mass production. Just honest craftsmanship for an honest effort.
Will you earn yours in the pit?
